The revival of Peter Gill's drama, which is scheduled to officially open February 13, will run through March 24 at the Donmar prior to a March 27–April 7 run at Sheffield Theatres.

Starring Ben Batt and Jonathan Bailey, the play tells the story of a farmhand (Batt) who falls in love with a young director (Bailey) in a small U.K. working-class town in the early 1960s. Robert Hastie directs.
